Image processing techniques subjected to abrasion wear tests. These images were classified into two groups, identified with the severe and

herein implemented to obtain a learning model of wear severity. Gaussian Naive Bayes, Decision Tree and
Random Forest were the classifier models used, which span the family of classifiers from fast to robust im-
plementations. An evaluation of the classifier capacity to identify those images corresponding to the severe and
mild wear regimes was made by following a k-fold cross validation strategy. The qualitative characterization of
worn surfaces images through the HOG computation and the application of classifier models allow predicting
well whether a mild or a severe abrasive wear regimes operated. The proposed approach achieves more than
80% of accuracy in almost all HOG configuration and for the different classifiers herein evaluated.
